Sony’s TGS press conference focused heavily on the PlayStation Vita, with hardly any news on the PS3. Some of the announcements were already known to the public, but there were some bombshells to come out of the press conference, like the fact that the Vita will launch on December 17th in Japan. Not only is Japan just a few months away from the next generation of handheld gaming, but they will get a few games to play.
During the press conference, Sony stated that 100 games will be released in the launch window, which can be assumed to be the first few months of the Vita’s life. Although dozens of launch titles have been announced in the past, the full list of launch titles hasn’t been disclosed. Some of the games in question are sure to be exclusive to Japan, so we will have to wait for Sony to announce the launch titles for other regions… as well as a release date for the Vita itself.
sounds like a very great start for it.
Why would they make anything exclusive to Japan if us in Europe, US and etc. would triple the sales of any title. I know there’s shipping and distributions cost that some smaller companies can’t handle but then there is always a PSN version that would bring the revenue with out the production cause. And only have the PS3 hardcopies released in Japan.
But wait if Monster Hunters and Surpise a Pokemon game came out at launch whether or not one or both was free. Japan would drop a nut and sale 3Ds to get there hands on a handheld with a dualstick control better online play support and 100 games at Launch to fumble throu. I think I’m goin Japanese, I really think so. Seriously, I’ll never import or show up at a launch that wasn’t here because Japanese launch system and games aren’t even atleast English subtitles, which is crazy to me because if they and us included made every game with several foreign languanges for subtitle atleast at launch. We’d have more exported and imported games. Don’t know how that would work with videogame sales, but who cares. Will someone tell me why God of War3, Gran Turismo5 and atleast Heavy Rain didn’t sale atleast 1 mil in Japan of all countries? I’m gonna just say that the publishers of the title didn’t invest enough in advertisments. The other day I saw Uncharted3 ad before the first game of the NFL season. Now find the equivelent to that in Japan and do that same. Or atleast their FRIENDS so to say .
The PSV has a pretty impressive line up if I do say so myself
